How can I brand a fifth War Chief?

My current quest is to brand five War Chiefs, but as you can see I only have 4 available and they're all branded already.

How can I progress my game? Do I need to command an uruk to become the fifth war chief, if that's possible.

I am unsure of how to progress at this stage.

Each of the dominated war chiefs has a mission, which just summons them. As they're branded they just stroll up to me and I can grab them and dominate them again. Then once I've dominated them the mission just lights up again and I can repeat it.

You have to wait for another Uruk to be promoted.

The easiest way is to choose the "Advance Time" option on a forge tower. The same thing will be triggered if you die. Alternatively, continue playing and promotions will slowly trickle in.

If you manage to brand the remaining captains before the promotion happens, you're guarenteed a free branded warchief.
